P&P Blog had the misfortune of witnessing its worst offensive college football ever: Oregon's 16-0 loss to UCLA. That says a lot, given P&P was "educated" at Indiana University, a basketball school, but attended many "football" games. Nay, on Saturday, Oregon set a school record for punts in one game (12), and UCLA completed fewer passes than Oregon's fourth and fifth-string quarterbacks combined. Even Oregon Coach Mike Bellotti called the performance "painful to watch."

Fortunately, not a lot of other folks around the nation saw it, to ABC-TV's probably chagrin. According to Sports Business Daily, ABC's regional telecasts in that time slot drew a 3.5 rating. By comparison, the competing Tennessee-Kentucky game on CBS drew a 3.7. The Missouri-Kansas game that followed Oregon's drew a 7, the best rating for a college game this season, according to Sports Media Watch blog.
